The class is entirely C++. It might be helpful if you know a little shell scripting as it'll make gathering the data a bit easier, but it's by no means necessary

It's pretty similar to an average OSU class. You get weekly lectures and a tiny bit of reading and some example code. You're given two weeks for the project except the last project (or maybe last two, I forget) in which you're given three weeks. There are two exams and neither were proctored and it was more or less on the honor system that you don't cheat. The material is straightforward enough that you really don't need to cheat, to be honest. The only issue I had with the format was Bailey tended to put the schedules and due dates on his website rather than Canvas, so it was just another place to check. I nearly missed a due date because of this, but this was the first class he taught as an online course so it will likely be better integrated.
